It is a drama film that embodies the story of a girl named Great (Scarlett Johansson) who faces a difficult situation in her life. This girl tries to go to work as a maid of painter Johannes Vermeer (Colin Firth) after her father is blinded, as she tries to help the talented and model for one of his most famous works in history.
... a movie about a kind of understanding that rarely passes between human beings; a solemn, sacred meeting of minds.

Lavish attention to historical detail, the thorough immersion in this unusual world and Johansson's impressive performance make Girl With a Pearl Earring memorable but not a masterpiece.
The movie benefits greatly from Johansson's gift for understated delivery, but she's less assured in this demure, largely non-verbal role than she was as a modern young woman in Ghost World and Lost in Translation.
Girl with the Pearl Earring is about the liberating and inspiring experience of being seen.

Working from an intelligent, understated screenplay by Olivia Hetreed, director Peter Webber (an acclaimed documentarian) proceeds with a stunning assurance.
